Recommended Yarn
This doll was designed using Hobbii's Twister Solid XL yarn, which is a medium weight 4 yarn that's a cotton-acrylic blend. It creates a beautiful and crisp stitch definition.
Any cotton or acrylic yarn would be suitable for this pattern. Additional worsted weight yarn recommendations include:
- Lion Brand Heartland (100% acrylic with beautiful, heathered yarn)
- Lion Brand's 24/7 Cotton Yarn (100% cotton and will produce crisp stitch definition)
- Brava Worsted or Caron Simply Soft (100% acrylic, sturdy, and pretty good bang for your buck!)
However, you can experiment with different types of fibers for a different look. For instance, using a super bulky weight chenille velvet yarn can create a plush look. Or, opt for the slightly textured Feels Like Bliss yarn for a soft and furry look.
Uses
- Detailed toy set for children to play with
- Selling at craft fairs, markets, or high-end boutiques
- Birthday gift, Christmas holiday gift for toddlers and young children
- Christmas stocking stuffer
